How to manage old transferred site live while working on new BoldGrid site
Once I copy my old website files over from my old host, I want to have that site live while I work on a brand new site using BoldGrid.
Should I set up the BoldGrid site under a subdomain and then when I'm ready, move it over to the root domain?
Basically I want to have a non-prod environment for BoldGrid, my old site with a different CMS live, and then replace my old site once development is done. I'm thinking I should use subdomains for that?
Hello.
Thanks for posting your question about creating a new BoldGrid website while keeping your original website live. You can accomplish this using a subdomain to install BoldGrid. Then, migrate the new website over to the main domain.
As an alternative, if your server includes Softaculous, you can use their staging feature for WordPress.
However, I recommend using the Cloud WordPress feature by BoldGrid. You can build your website in the cloud and then use the BoldGrid Backup plugin to migrate it to the live site when it's ready.
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Carlos D.
